Almost ready?
- Thread starter cannamane
- Start date
The plant you see above was only topped. Its an auto white widow from ilgm. 3×3×6 grow tent with a 600w hps. I used fish fertilizer and molasses in every other watering for the first month or so and now I'm using fox farms big bloom every other watering as well. I did one flush about a week ago before starting the big bloom and I'm probably going to stop all nutrients by the end of this following week. Lights are on about 13 hours a day to be stealthy as possible. Other than that I haven't gotten too detailed about the pH or ppm. Its all organic as far as I can tell from what I've used to fees it and the soil is organic as well.

If it's an auto you'll get much better results running lights as long as possible. I don't know about your stealth constraints, but it would make a significant difference if you run the lights longer. I wouldn't flush anything, unless you suspect nutrient toxicity. It looks like it's deficient in something as it is.
***I've never grown an auto and I don't know if changing the light schedule at this point will cause any negative effects***
I just started the flower nutrients last week because the soil had a pretty good amount of nutrients as is. Wanted to make sure i didn't burn the roots. Its bounced back quite a bit since I gave it some big bloom earlier this week.

Looks like they need more like a month or so.
I'll keep posting updates every other week or so. If its an auto I would assume it takes about twelve weeks maybe a little more, right? It's been flowering for about 7-8 weeks and the plant is right at 10-11 weeks. From what it said as far as growth cycle length online is that it takes 8 weeks to flower. And the end of next week would be 8 weeks of flower or so. I'll he able to tell when its completely ready I just don't want to wait too long or not long enough. I always ask for opinions. I'd say given the margin of time frames given it'll be ready in about 3 weeks. As white as it looks on photo their is definitely more brown pistols than you can see on the picture.

I think I was fortunate in more ways than I knew to get my first few grows of seeds from a growmie - I never knew what "8 week flowering" meant until I bought my first seeds (which ran 2 weeks long, following the label).
Since then, I've learned to ignore "flowering times" and read the plants in my tent (which are a few weeks ahead of yours if you want to look).

That plant is far from done well over a month to go. You said it’s been swelling? Where? If that were my plant and I spent 7 weeks in flower for it to look like that I’d kill it and go cry in a corner for hurting the cannabis gods with such a sad plant. Take a picture with some light too. If it’s an auto it won’t hurt it.

If you mean it looks ok for a plant that needs another month at least, then ok.

Not if it’s been flowering for seven weeks.
All this is definitely speculation on my part. If it needs more time than I'll give it more time. Maybe it isn't as far along as I'm guessing. I have it marked on my calendar for august 6th to chop down but that was me pushing back about three weeks as a precaution. So I'll just go with early august.
